Bks M., Rut W., Kasperkiewicz P., Mulder M. that SARS-CoV-2 PLpro harbors deISGylating activity similar to SARSCoV-1 PLpro but its ability to hydrolyze K48-linked Ub chains is usually diminished, which our sequence and structure analysis provides a basis for. Together, this work has revealed the molecular rules governing PLpro substrate specificity and provides a framework for development of inhibitors with potential therapeutic value or drug repurposing. INTRODUCTION The global epidemic of three coronaviruses has emerged in this century so far. In November 2002 in Foshan, China, the first known case of human infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) has been reported (expression, synthesized, and cloned into pGEX6P-1 (GE Healthcare, UK) using the Bam HI and Not I sites by Gene Universal (USA) for expression as a PreScission protease cleavable N-terminally glutathione strain for protein expression. Protein expression and purification SARS-CoV PLpro, UCH-L3, and MERS-PLpro were obtained as described earlier (for 30 min at 4C. The lysate was exceeded onto Glutathione Sepharose 4B (GE) followed by washing with lysis buffer. The GST-tagged PLpro was eluted in lysis buffer supplemented with 20 mM reduced glutathione (pH 8.0). The fusion protein was cleaved using GST-PreScission protease at 4C overnight followed with desalting and passing through fresh glutathione beads to remove cleaved GST and PreScission protease. The sample was further purified using Superdex 200-pg size-exclusion columns (GE) equilibrated with 20 mM tris-Cl (pH 8.0), 40 mM NaCl, and 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). The purified protein was then concentrated to ~10 mg/ml and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen for later use. Reagents The reagents used for the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) were as follows: Rink amide (RA) resin (particle size 100 to 200 mesh; loading 0.74 mmol/g), 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (particle size 100 to 200 mesh, loading 0.97 mmol/g), all 9-fluorenyl methoxycarbonylCamino acids, (= 58.4, = 189.7, = 63.1, and = 98.7. There are four SARS-CoV-2 PLpro/VIR250 complexes per asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by molecular replacement using the program PHASER. The search model was apo SARS-CoV-2 PLpro structure (PDB: 6W9C). Apparent ligand density for both Fo-Fc and 2Fo-Fc maps was observed projecting off Cys111 after first round of refinement. Model and restraints for VIR250 was prepared using Phenix.Elbow. Model of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro/VIR250 was subjected to iterative rounds of refinement and rebuilding using PHENIX (= 44.9, = 113.5, and = 151.1. There is one SARS-CoV-2 PLpro/VIR251 complex per asymmetric unit. The structure was determined by molecular replacement with Phaser and the search model was SARS-CoV-2 PLpro/VIR250 structure above (PDB: 6WUU). Structure with ligand was refined as described above for the VIR250 structure. The final two models for PLpro-VIR250 and PLpro-VIR251 complexes have R/Rfree values of 0.195/0.230 and 0.170/0.196, respectively. The two structures also have excellent geometry as assessed using Molprobity: favored (95.3%), allowed (4.6%), and outliers (0.1%) for the PLpro/VIR250 structure and favored (97.0%), allowed (3.0%), and outliers (0%) for the PLpro/VIR251 structure. PLpro-Ub/Ubl ABP panel assay The probes used in this experiment (fig. S3, 1 to 4) were generous gifts of UbiQ. Development of the probes have been previously described: Probe 1 (45, 46), Probe 2 (46), Probe 3 (47), Probe 4 (48, 49). Plpro (3 Sstr1 M) was incubated with 30 M inhibitor or DMSO at 37 for 20 min and put on ice. Reaction buffer contains 5 mM NaCl, 20 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0). Then, the indicated Ub/Ubl ABPs were mixed with PLpro at 4.5 and 2.7 M, respectively, at RT for 2 min. Reactions were terminated by adding SDS sample buffer, subjected to SDS-PAGE sypro staining. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 PLpro labeling by B-Ub-VME Enzymes (200 nM) were incubated with different B-Ub-VME concentrations (100, 200, 400, 800, and 1000 nM) in assay buffer [150 mM NaCl, 20 mM tris, and 5 mM DTT (pH 8.0) for SARS-CoV PLpro; 5 mM NaCl, 20 mM tris, and 5 mM DTT (pH 8.0) for SARS-CoV-2 PLpro] for 45 min at 37C. Then, 3 SDS/DTT was added, and the samples were boiled for 5 min at 95C and resolved on 4 to 12% bis-tris Plus 12-well gels. Electrophoresis was performed at 200 V for 29 min. Next, the proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (0.2 m, Bio-Rad) for 60 min at 10 V. The membrane was blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in tris-buffered saline with 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20 (TBS-T) for 60 min at RT. B-Ub-VME was detected with a fluorescent streptavidin Alexa Fluor 647 conjugate (1:10,000) in TBS-T Butoconazole with 1% BSA using an Azure Biosystems Sapphire Biomolecular Imager and Azure Spot Analysis Software. Gel-based Ub chain cleavage assays and Ub-VS labeling Tetra-Ub chains (K48- and K63-linked; Boston Biochem) were cleaved in a reaction volume of 10 l [in 20 mM tris (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 5 mM DTT] with 25.Mol. provides a basis for.
